Sew a lined, padded cutlery pouch for the table

TADCASTER holds a knife, fork and spoon neatly at each place setting — lovely for dinner parties, picnics and Christmas, and reusable in a way paper napkin wraps never are. It's fully lined with fusible fleece inside, so it has a soft, substantial feel rather than sitting flat on the table.

What you'll learn

  • Ironing fusible fleece centrally onto the lining for a padded finish
  • Sewing right sides together leaving an 8cm turning gap in the best position
  • Snipping corners so they turn out crisply
  • Folding the pouch so there's exactly 6cm between the top edge and the fold
  • Topstitching a scant ¼" to close the gap and finish the sides in one pass

Finished size

Approximately 11cm x 18cm across the front face, 25cm top to bottom

What you'll need (for each pouch)

2 fat quarters in contrasting fabrics (non-directional works best), 1 piece of H640 fusible fleece interfacing, a heat-erasable pen and a quilting or standard ruler. Seam allowance is ¼".
